By coincidence, Susan Brigden gave a wonderful talk at the Huntington Library this morning on the Orlando Furioso in the court of Henry VII and quoted Surrey, in a letter, as saying "I have received no nother comfort, etc." The context was ironic, as
in, he had received no comfort at all, since what followed was not what you would call a comfort.
I'd recommend asking Jason Powell (
[log in to unmask]), who is editing the new complete works for OUP. He knows as much about Wyatt's texts as anyone.
